One of the Greatest Runners in the World: 200+ Marathons

Set your goals

Work Hard until you achieve them

I had the special privilege, just recently, of meeting, speaking with, and listening to Scott Kunz, one of the premier marathon runners in the world. Scott has run more than 200 marathons.  He has run marathons in 24 states, including a sub-3-hour finish at the Boston Marathon, and finished the prestigious Wasatch 100-Mile Solo Endurance Run 10 consecutive times.  To run the 100 mile marathons, you have 36 hours to complete it. Can you imagine running a 100-Mile Marathon? And running it 10 times?

The secret to Scott's running success is cleverly nested in his training, his practices. He trains daily. His training includes running every day at least six miles. He runs at least one hour per day and from 5:00 am until 9:00 am on Saturdays. Weekly Scott runs 30-40 miles. The key to his preparation is the DAILY application of running.

Whatever goals you are desirous to achieve, if you work on them daily, like Scott works on his, then you will achieve your goals, just like Scott has achieved so many of his goals and continues to do so.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Stephen R. Covey teaches "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People." These habits are applicable to anyone any age regardless of one's present circumstances. The habits apply to parents, teens, children, business people, students in school, clergymen, salesmen, and all other types of individuals.

The First Three Habits surround moving from dependence to independence (i.e., self-mastery):

Independence

• Habit 1: Be Proactive

Take initiative in life by realizing that your decisions (and how they align with life's principles) are the primary determining factor for effectiveness in your life. Take responsibility for your choices and the consequences that follow.

• Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

Self-discover and clarify your deeply important character values and life goals. Envision the ideal characteristics for each of your various roles and relationships in life.

• Habit 3: Put First Things First

A manager must manage his own person. Personally. And managers should implement activities that aim to reach the second habit. Covey says that rule two is the mental creation; rule three is the physical creation.

The next three have to do with Interdependence (i.e., working with others):

Interdependence

• Habit 4: Think Win-Win

Genuinely strive for mutually beneficial solutions or agreements in your relationships. Value and respect people by understanding a "win" for all is ultimately a better long-term resolution than if only one person in the situation had got his way.

• Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood

Use empathic listening to be genuinely influenced by a person, which compels them to reciprocate the listening and take an open mind to being influenced by you. This creates an atmosphere of caring, and positive problem solving.

• Habit 6: Synergize

Combine the strengths of people through positive teamwork, so as to achieve goals no one person could have done alone.

The final habit is that of continuous improvement in both the personal and interpersonal spheres of influence.

Continuous Improvement

• Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Balance and renew your resources, energy, and health to create a sustainable, long-term, effective lifestyle. It primarily emphasizes exercise for physical renewal, prayer (meditation, yoga, etc.) and good reading for mental renewal. It also mentions service to society for spiritual renewal.

WLMINGTON, N.C. – Husband. Father. UNC Wilmington men’s basketball coach. Now Benny Moss has added another title: Hall of Famer.

The Pilot Mountain native will join six other athletes, coaches and volunteers from the northwest North Carolina County in being recognized.

            “This is a great honor for me and I’m very humbled,” said Moss. “I have many fond memories of my high school career. I owe a lot to Mike Burge, my high school coach, as well as my high school teammates. An honor like this is always a tribute to your coaches and teammates, and anyone else who has helped you along the way.”

            A 1988 graduate of East Surry High School, Moss enjoyed a tremendous career with the Cardinals. He remainsEast Surry’s all-time leading scorer with nearly 1,400 points after earning All-Northwest 2A Conference honors three straight years and collecting league Player-of-the-Year in his senior season. He was also named All-State twice by the Winston-Salem Journal.

            The 6-8 Moss averaged 23.5 points during his junior year and pushed the margin to 27.0 ppg in his senior campaign, attracting the attention of college scouts. He went on to UNC Charlotte, where he was named to the 1989-90 Sun Belt Conference All-Freshman Team. After two seasons in Charlotte, Moss transferred to Pfeiffer College and helped Coach Bobby Lutz and the Falcons reach the NAIA Final Four in his senior year.

            Moss begin his coaching career with Lutz at Pfeiffer in 1993 and made stops at Phillips, HendersonState and UNCC before landing the UNCW post in 2006-07.
